Soil-mapping research from NC State and Iowa State. AI built for agronomy.
Aiterra began as university research. Today that science sits under the soil answers and prescriptions Fieldhand AI gives.
Enhanced management zones for precision agriculture.
The patents cover a way to map management zones across wide areas without dense, field-by-field sampling. They are co-owned by SoilMetrix (Aiterra), NC State University, and Iowa State University. The university rights are licensed to Aiterra.
Issued US patents, co-owned with NC State and Iowa State. We are building additional soil-specific AI on this science.
Two university research programs.
Iowa State University
The Geospatial Laboratory for Soil Informatics works on digital soil mapping with cloud computing, AI, and remote sensing. Patent co-owner through the Iowa State University Research Foundation.
NC State University
The Department of Crop and Soil Sciences researches site-specific soil fertility with remote sensing and geospatial tools for precision agriculture. Patent co-owner.
Soil-specific AI
Built for agronomy, not a general-purpose chatbot. The models learn from real field data.
Traceable by design
Every number links back to its source. Lab, method, and date, or clearly labeled as modeled.
We are glad to go deeper on methods under NDA.
